1366x768 Max Resolution Problem

Hello,
My Max Resolution is 1366*768 16:9.
The Problem is the Tutorial Boxes are way to big and the Fonts is also Way to Big. The Right Unit Box are so big i can only see two units at once.
No big Deal but it a bit draging down the Fun.
Any Way to make the Fonts and UI a bit smaller?
Best Regards from cold, cold Germany

Which OS are you using? Win8 defaults to a 125% font size and that can mess up text in games that are expecting 100%. If you are win8 you can try setting font size to 100% and see if that helps.

There is no setting for the UI boxes that I know of, but Tom or Mark may know something. You can zoom the map out to see more units on the map. The fonts appear to be at size as the game does them. Again I don't know how those are coded and the font size may be hard coded. You can try to use a smaller than 100% font size and see if that works, but if those controls are non-standard windows elements that may have no effect. Unfortunately, you are sitting on a minimum 768 resolution and that limits what can be done. We have the same issue with Red Storm. You can only go so small when you have to deal with screens as high as 2550x1980.
Sorry, I'm not that much help on this.

It's a bitmap font, no windows settings will change it. That's a pretty small resolution, is it a laptop? I will see if there is some global scaling that can be done for the unit box. I crammed the melee box into that resolution, barely, but I can see how the limited # of units on the side could be annoying.

Tom, a good number of netbooks and surface tablets run with a 768 vertical.
